Generalstaatsanwalt fragt, ob Kemi Badenoch Einwände gegen das jüdische öffentliche Gebet hätte | Konservative

We could, as a country, adopt the French policy of Laïcité and ban all use of public land to promote religion. No more prayers each morning in the House of Commons chamber, no more Lords Spiritual in the House of Lords, change the national anthem from „God Save the King“.

We could do all that.

I would actually be relatively supportive of that.

However I don’t think that is what the Tories are going for here, so the question is, why are they just objecting to one particular religion? What does that say about them?

Aside from everything else gross about this ‚controversy‘, does it not just seem utterly pathetic to view some Muslims praying in a square as ‚domination‘?

Like how low is their opinion of the British culture that these people claim to defend if that’s a threat?

It’s an asinine point because it assumes religions are equal. Which they aren’t. It’s like asking if someone who has a problem with a Nazi gathering would also have one with a liberal gathering.

Judaism is not a source of terrorist attacks, violent intimidation of critics and blasphemers, grooming gangs, etc in this country, so there is no reason to care about public prayer from followers of Judaism.

„Well Trafalgar is often used for political gatherings by non-nazis this is nothing new“ falls just as flat there. The argument here being advanced is between people who adopt a wilful refusal to distinguish between different contexts and others who aren’t in denial.

„Well if you have a problem with ideological group A, why not B?“.

I say it’s wilful, because they very suddenly understand it when it’s not a religious ideology but a political one.

Once you’re willing to accept that different ideologies can be differently evaluated, it becomes extremely straightforward to regard Islam as one which shouldn’t be tolerated as openly as others. You just have to examine the outcomes of allowing it to be tolerated.

Trafalgar is always holding events. For all sorts of things.

This is just gutter politics against an easy targets for cheap likes. Let’s stop beating around the bush.

The Attorney General has asked a great question. These politicians wouldn’t dare object to a Jewish Public Prayer. And there lies the double standards and hypocrisy.

I find it awfully pathetic that the Tories have been degraded to such a level that the only way they think they can remain relevant is by becoming culture war outrage merchants. How the mighty have fallen.
